The Seattle Mariners' list of free-agent targets is quickly shrinking.

The Seattle Mariners haven't found a right-handed power hitter yet. But bless their heart, they sure are trying.

Three-time All-Star shortstop Hanley Ramirez won't be staying in L.A. for the long haul, as he's opted to flee in free agency to the Boston Red Sox.

The team confirmed the deal on Tuesday:

Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports outlined the details of the contract:

ESPN Boston's Gordon Edes provides a year-by-year breakdown:

In the past, the Detroit Tigers have been ceaselessly ridiculed and lambasted for having awful defense and relief pitching. Despite this, the Tigers are quietly putting together a strong defensive unit.

With Pablo Sandoval and Hanley Ramirez reportedly set to sign with the Boston Red Sox, per ESPN.com, the team addressed its hitting woes from a year ago. But with plenty of options in the outfield and needing other pieces elsewhere, namely starting pitching, the team is reportedly shopping Yoenis Cespedes.

The chance for debate in Major League Baseball never ends. The individual awards were just handed out, and as if on cue, here comes the announcement for the 2015 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot ready to provide the next topic sure to spark discussion and more than a little disagreement.

Though the Chicago Cubs failed to sign free-agent catcher Russell Martin last week, it doesn’t mean the team won’t have other intriguing options moving forward.

Key players have already signed new contracts this winter, setting the standard for how the rest of the offseason is going to unfold.

The signings of Pablo Sandoval and Hanley Ramirez by the Boston Red Sox have rightfully dominated the discourse around MLB for the past two days.

For as incredible as the saga detailed by CBS Sports’ Jon Heyman is, however, there’s been plenty of movement on the trade front.

In the wake of Giancarlo Stanton becoming Major League Baseball's first $300 million man, a question comes to mind.

Who's next?

There's no doubt baseball will get a second $300 million man and little doubt that he will come sooner rather than later. Probably within the next five years. Maybe even within the next three.
